I had 2 concussions that I know of in my football career and in each case I was 'ready' for the collision and had a helmet to boot. I still got hurt.
You can split hairs on the Rose-Fosse collision if you like, but the fact is collisions will eventually cause injury.
I agree that being ready is better than not, but when it comes down to it, collisions are violent and violence can cause damage.
